On-Campus

Living on campus provides you convenient access to classes, activities and connection to our UB community. Experience our residence halls, and apartments via 360°panoramic images that also can be viewed on your PC, phone, or virtual reality viewing device.

Convenient

You’re minutes from your classes, dining centers, recreation centers and support services. Just walk or take a free shuttle anywhere you need to go. You don't need a car at UB—but you’re welcome to have one, even if you’re a first-year student.

Safe

A UB ID Card is required to gain access to all residence halls. Our University Police department is nationally accredited. And we have fire safety systems, UB Alert emergency messaging and staff on duty 24/7.
